LYNDON LEARNING COLLABORATIVE
Complete Your Last Two Years of High School and First Two Years of College at the Same Time
The Lyndon Learning Collaborative is a partnership between Lyndon Institute and Vermont State University (VSU) that provides the opportunity for eligible Lyndon Institute juniors and seniors to obtain up to two full years of college academic credit through college-level courses offered by VSU. While a majority of the courses are taught at Lyndon Institute, students have the opportunity to take up to two courses at VSU during each semester that they are enrolled in the program. This partnership between the schools enhances dual enrollment and early college initiatives.
The Collaborative provides a head start in higher learning for Lyndon Institute juniors and seniors who qualify for the program. Students who complete the college course requirements will graduate from Lyndon Institute with a high school diploma and will also have earned up to two years of college academic credits, enabling the possibility to also earn an Associate of Arts degree in General Studies from VSU by the time they graduate high school with no tuition costs.
Students have the option to enroll in the LLC for one or two years. While completing their junior and/or senior years of high school (and therefore simultaneously their freshman and/or sophomore years of college), students in the program are able to still participate in high school activities such as athletics and clubs. The coursework, though fully college-level, satisfies both high school and college requirements simultaneously.
The Collaborative is selective, and VSU’s admissions office determines admission to the program. Students who qualify for the Collaborative can expect an academic load that is greater than what students would ordinarily face in their senior year of high school.

VTSU Course Descriptions
"This program, for me personally has just been absolutely fantastic. I am planning to go on to get a bachelors in Exercise Science and right up the hill at VSU they have an absolutely amazing Exercise Science program. Already in my senior year, I am able to dip my toes into the waters of Exercise Science and I found that it's definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't know if I would have been able to get this direction without the help from the LLC program." Jarrett Wilkins, LI Class of 2022
